§ 1. It is well known that, if , the convergence of sn to a limit implies the convergence of tn to the same limit. The converse theorem, that the convergence of tn implies the convergence of sn, is false. Mercer1 proved, however, that if , then both sn and tn tend to l. This theorem has recently been extended in various directions.2 In the present note the case of Abel limits is considered.
